Fog Dude Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Villa have been terrible immediately after European games all season, it didn't suddenly start yesterday. Following Forest's win this afternoon (every screen at the sports bar was showing cycling - not even the snooker! - so I took Bacon's advice and listened to it on the radio) either that's West Ham finished or else somebody's gonna go down with a record high number of points in a 38-game PL season. As for Wrexham: even taking into account all the outside attention and investment, 7th place after three consecutive promotions is still an outstanding achievement. Agonisingly enough it'd be good enough for the play-offs next season! Like Butch pointed out, I keep telling people here it'd be better to go up not only when the squad is stronger and better prepared, but also when the ground's actually got four sides again. Quote
westlondonmist Posted May 4 Posted May 4 (edited) Thar hinders Celtic, but seeing Sevco go another season winning fuck all still gives me a warm feeling inside. Edit: I imagine Rohl loses his job if he loses next week. Edited May 4 by westlondonmist Quote
RedTwoster Posted May 4 Posted May 4 9 hours ago, RedTwoster said: I’m beyond stressed today. Hearts/Rangers tonight, the day the bubble could burst for their title hopes. I honestly don’t know if I have it in me to watch the match, I’m just too nervous! I watched it and I’m an emotional wreck, that was as stressful as I expected it to be but also brilliant. That might be my favourite game of football ever - it certainly will be if Hearts actually do win the title. At half-time, I thought that was it, I thought Rangers had worked their way back into the title race and were new favourites to win the league. Now I need them to beat Celtic next week, and for Hearts to defeat Motherwell. I still think the fixtures favour Celtic though - they face both Rangers and Hearts at home, which doesn’t seem right. But we’ll see what happens. Hearts winning the league feels terrifyingly possible at this point; terrifying in how finely balanced this title race still is. What a season. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted May 4 Author Members Posted May 4 I'm not arsed by who wins it obviously, but Celtic vs Hearts on the last day of the season is superb. All leagues should be engineered to have the top two play each other on the final day. Its up for grabs now! and all that. Quote

For the sake of my sanity, I hope Rangers beat Celtic next week, and Hearts winning their next two matches. That’s all they need to do to win their next two league games, although I have a bad feeling about Motherwell at Fir Park. Until it actually happens, I won’t believe that it can. Quote

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted May 4 Paid Members Posted May 4 I'm Celtic through and through and I absolutely want the league title, even if it feels dirty to win it right at the end. But jesus Hearts have played a blinder this season and I wouldn't begrudge them the title, especially more than Sevco but I would love it to go down to the last day. Quote
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Gutted with that result tonight, from 1 down to 3-1 up with 9 to go only to draw with the last kick (4th game in a row we’ve either scored or conceded in stoppage time) when we had chances to make it 4 and had the stoniest of stone wall pens barely looked at Europe isn’t quite dead yet but we need to beat at least Palace and Sunderland and hope for results in our favour elsewhere to have a chance Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 5 Paid Members Posted May 5 Could go in the Today I Learned thread but look at this:- Quote In the middle of 1964, Rangers revealed a plan to The Scottish Football League to remove the Warriors from the league, along with four other clubs, on the basis that they were poorest-supported clubs over the previous three seasons.[6] Stenhousemuir, along with Albion Rovers, Berwick Rangers, Brechin City and Stranraer, with support from a number of clubs, including Celtic, Hamilton Academical and Airdrieonians, defeated the plan.[7] One more reason to hate The Rangers.
